No need to travel to indulge youths habits these days

Here in Hackettstown at 229 Main Street,we have a Guitar center downstairs,a collectibles shop down the hall,and an indie legacy record ranch as well.

That’s us

Open till 6pm today

Live music from 2 to 4 pm with half of the Magnificent Mulvas bringing the noise.

It’s a splendid Saturday to support small businesses.

That’s what we’re saying

Well music maniacs

We meet again.

This meeting has been arranged for today,Saturday June 6th,an eventful historic day

It’s also Hackettstown town wide Community Day,making our horrendous Main Street traffic flow more horrendous.

We’ll attempt to make it worth the effort.

Lots of music and joy to be had here in our 750 square feet

And one of our legacy performers,Joe Janci,will be here to play his songs and he’s a joy.

You want joy?You can handle joy.

Open till 6pm today.Cast your cares aside and add some music to your day.

Call or text us at 908-914-7582

Not my favorite group

But a lot of yours favorite group

That to say this.

We are ready for you to be part of our day and add some music to yours.

Open till 5pm.

Thanks to Hackettstown’s indie retail watchdog which oversees us merchants in our metropolis for making our shop the spotlight business of the week this week.

It’s been a hard century so far to be in small business so recognition is beyond gratifying.Thank You.

We have anew line of posters for sale!

Independently owned company /artist and really well done.

It’s Mothers Day weekend so no live music on Saturday .

A new shipment arriving today with super duper new releases

It’s easy math.

One plus fun equals Sound Effects Records of Hackettstown

It’s not a gatefold reissue so you won’t get a peep at Joni in her Birthday suit with ocean water as her co star in the photo.

What you will get if you stop before 6pm is some righteous good music and if you’re good,a pack of Smarties or two.

Open till 6pm today.

So come on over to our house,we’ll be glad to keep you company.

Call or text to 908-914-7582 for an interpetive dance on what I just wrote.
